GameSpy is pleased to unveil a trio of environments from Lionhead Studios’ highly anticipated Fable II. When building a fantasy world, it’s important to provide memorable locales that offer tantalizing opportunities for adventure. We’ll begin this feature with an exclusive video, followed by descriptions from the design team and images of these previously unexplored regions. Join us as we explore the farthest reaches of Albion in this environment showcase.
I’ve been looking around for a decent-quality version of this video to post. Its the ranger gameplay video featuring a lot of action and cool effects. I believe this game has been pushed into 2009? By then I should have my new PC up and running. I’m hoping to have a nice little office with a couple of PC’s able to play games. That’s once I get a place of course (Mid August).
I’ve been checking out this new game coming out between Q42008 and 2009… its called Aion. There is a wealth of information available online on various forums and gaming sites. The games most revolutionary (not so much) is flying combat. Each player gets a set of wings. In addition to travel (like Wow’s flight), one uses flights to complete quests or even duel it out in the sky. This is a Korean MMO which is being tuned in a ‘western’ fashion (read: less grind?). Certainly no WOW killer, but this game has definitely sparked my interests and I intend to follow its development.
I’m trying to develop a unique gamer tag / logo / avatar for forums and steam-like profiles, and so far I like what I’ve come up with. The following are 200×200 and 100×100 versions of what I will be using. If i was asked to duplicate this stuff I could never do it. Half is done in illustrator, half photoshop and it is all done at work. For some reason I just can’t be creative at my home PC… it has to be a project for school or something I’m forced to do. Illustrator is a pretty cool program, but like photoshop, there is so many little things to learn and master… I’m only scratching the surface. Here are my various logos:
